What was the primary legal basis for segregation on buses in Montgomery, Alabama, prior to the boycott?

Local and state laws mandating racial segregation.

Describe two ways the Black community sustained the Montgomery Bus Boycott for over a year.

Walking, carpooling, and alternative transportation arrangements.

The Supreme Court ruled the laws unconstitutional, leading to the end of the boycott and desegregation of buses.

It propelled Martin Luther King Jr. to national prominence and demonstrated the effectiveness of nonviolent resistance.

I can analyze the causes and effects of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

1
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was caused by decades of racial segregation in Alabama, where laws forced Black passengers to sit in the back of buses.
2
The immediate cause of the boycott was the arrest of Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her bus seat, which led to a boycott organized by Martin Luther King Jr..
3
The Montgomery Bus Boycott led to significant financial losses for the bus company, drew national attention to the Civil Rights Movement, and resulted in the Supreme Court ruling bus segregation laws were unconstitutional.
